Kindergarten Tycoon

KINDERGARTEN TYCOON is an 11 minute short film that looks at the discrepancy between the social graces we are taught as children and the way much of today's adult society actually conducts itself. Using a kindergarten class as a microcosm of modern society, the film reminds us, in an ironic way, that the social decorum we learned in our formative years is just as relevant in adulthood. The twist in this film is that the kindergarten students are adults. And the double twist is that rather than behaving like children, they actually behave like adults. The humour stems from the interaction of grownups going about their daily business within the context of a kindergarten classroom.
